We will simultaneously be recording & broadcasting class for people tuning in through Zoom as well during this workshop and wanted to make sure that you are aware of this.

This workshop takes a look at common pathologies found in the plantar fascia of the foot, focusing specifically on plantar fasciitis/fasciopathy. We will also cover other foot and ankle problems including bunions (hallux valgus), neuromas and achilles tendinopathy. We will explore the anatomy and physiology and current understanding of foot-related pathologies, treatment options, indications, contraindications and considerations for integrative bodywork. We will look specifically at some of the most prevalent bio-mechanical, postural and muscular imbalances as well as movement patterns that correlate and/or contribute to foot-related issues. We examine what exactly the plantar fascia is and how pain in this important connective tissue structure develops as well as what massage therapists can do to address and support their clients in alleviating and managing the symptomology that accompanies foot and ankle pathologies. Integrative Bodywork strategies will be outlined, demonstrated and practiced throughout the workshop to give students as much hands-on experience as possible.

Tables, linens and handouts will be provided. All you need to bring is your interest in anatomy and massage, your sense of humor, and whatever you need to take notes, etc. Textbooks and merchandise are available for purchase at the workshop.

You may cancel up to 5 days before the workshop and receive a full refund. Refunds thereafter will be on a case by case basis.
